2. VISIT THE BEACH
Wherever you are staying in Ibiza, there are always beautiful child-friendly beaches close by, where you can spend the day as a family on the beach, listening to Balearic beats. Most beaches have a bar, restaurant or beach club, with and day beds and some have VIP areas, where you can kick back and relax with a glass of rosé and pinchos, while the kids enjoy the water. In high season it is always best to make a reservation in advance.

The water is shallow in most places for several meters with small waves, so it’s perfect for toddlers to splash about in without fear of being taken out by a swell. And when they are tired you can make a bed under an umbrella or a sun lounger so they can have an afternoon nap.
